A member asked:
Can pasteurella multocida be passed from human to human? don't think i have it, as dog bite didn't break skin, but already had dry broken skin there?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, you cannot transfer the organism. Moisturize the dry broken skin site often the first few days and this should return to normal.
